Python brongersmai
Python breitensteini
Python curtus
That's it. Only three species which was formerly one species and three subspecies under Python curtus.
P. brongersmai is the only true "blood" and then only around 25% of the brongersmai are really red. The rest are yellow and brown. These are found primarily on the islands of Malaysia, Sumatra and some nearby islands.
P. curtus are not "bloods" but short-tailed pythons. Why not a blood? Same reason as why there are no Borneo "bloods", they don't get red! P. Curtus get black and grey and live mostly in Sumatra.
P. breitensteini are also short-tails and not "bloods". They get orange, dark brown, golden (sarawak locality), some orange-red coloration does appear but with tans and browns. They are only found for the most part on the island of Borneo (Kalimantan). The other two are not found on Borneo and P. breitensteini are not found on Malaysia/Sumatra.
